Jeni, Mina, Magdala, James, Vicki, Kathy and Bill, Amaryllis, Paige, and other friends came to Juna's on Friday, February 7, 2003. Mina did the door. Magdala emceed.

We had a good open mic. I did "Frida Kahlo called." Then Kate Makkai featured. She was wonderful.

19 poets competed in the slam: Cera, Adamah, Bamboo Emcee, Jeni and I as a duet(Peace poem), Ann, Patrick, Noel, Shawn, Omani, Margo, Shara, TJ, Keitha, Brandon, Jason Lee, Brett, Carl, and Dan. Magdala did the calibration poem. Brett took first. TJ came in second. Jeni and I came in third. Adamah, Brandon, and Jason Lee tied for fourth. All of us can go on to the semi-final slam in April.

Magdala, Jeni, Mina, Kate, and I went to Madeline's afterwards.
